The Democracy of Death.
" I was very poorly and could
hardly get about the house. 1 was
tired out all the time. Then I tried
Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and it only
took two bottles to make me feel
perfectly well."— Mra. N. S. Swin*
ney, Princeton, Mo.
Tired when you go to
bed, tired when you get
tired all the time,
y ? Your blood is im-

border line of nerve ex-
haustion. Take Ayer's
Sarsaparilla and be
quickly cured.
Here is a gem from a funeral
oration delivered at the grave of
a deceased congressman, John N.
Burns, by the late former Senator
J. ,1. Ingalls: "In the democracy
of death all men are at least equal.
There is neither rank nor preroga-
tive in tho republic of the grave.
At this fatal threshold the phil-
osopher ceases to be wiso and tho
songs of tbe poot are silent.
Dives relinquishes his millions
and Lazarus his rags. Tho poor
man is as rich as the richest, and
the rich man poor as the pauper.
The creditor loses bis usury and
tho debtor is acquitted of his ob-
ligation. There tho proud man
surrenders his dignities, the poli-
tician his honors, the worldling
his pleasures, the invalid needs no
physician and the laborer rests
from his unrequited toil. Hero
at least is nature's final equity.
The wrongs in time are redressed,
injustice is explained tbe irony of
fate is refuted, the unequal dis-
tribution of wealth, honor, capa-
city, pleasure, opportunity,
which makes life so cruel and in-
explicable a tragedy ceases in
the realm of death* The strong-
est have no supremacy and the
weakest need no defense. The
roightv captain succumbs to the
invincible adversary who disarms
•Uk* tho victor and the van-
quished." * „
After nn illness which bad con-
fined him to St Luke's hospital
for about one year, Rev John L
Gay, widely known as "Father
Gay," with one exception said to
be the oldest Episcopal clergy-
man in the wot Id, died at the
hospital in St Louis on the 22.
The body will be buried in Santa
Fe, N M, beside that of a daugh-
ter, w<ho died some years ago. He
is survived by hi-* widow, u son,
John H Gay of Cicago, III, and a
daughter, Mrs Dora Fletcher of
Sunta Fe, N M.
Rev Gay was born in Iredell
county, N C, September 21, 1809,
and in his 12th year went to
school there to Peter Stuait Ney,
whom he always believed to have
been Marshal Ney of Napolen's
staff, recoided by history as hav-
ing been shot by his captors. In
hi* 95th year Rev Gay published
a book iu which he related the
interesting facts of the marshal's
escape, through the connivance
of his old soldiers, some of who(n
had been nssigned to tho squad
which was ordered to shoot him.

A TRIE BOWEL
CLEANSER.
K Remedy That Purifies the Bowels
Mildly, Strengthens the Bowel

Regularity.
A General System Tonic.
By no means the least of the valuable
properties of Prickly Ash Bitters is its
admirable effect in the bowels. Any
active cathartic will empty the bowels,
but it takes more than a mere cathartic
to cure them. What is needed is a tonic,
a restorative; one that will strengthen
the bowel channels and prevent the re-
turn of constipated conditions. Prickly
Ash Bitters contains these desirable
qualitiea to a remarkable degree. It is
a mild laxative that moves the bowela
comfortably, thedrasti<? bowel drenching
and paralizing effect of strong cathartics
being noticeably absent. It not only
empties the bowels comfortably, but it
regulates the bile—the liquid which
moistens the inner lining of tbe bowels
and makes it possible for the waste
products of the l>ody to pass through,
and finally, it relieves those conditions
produced by imperfect digestion which
fills the stomach and 1>owels with gas
and fermenting matter. Prickly Ash
Hitters is in short a bandy household
medicine and should be kept in every
home. There are constantly occuring
in every family little ailments which are 1 Stuncos.
easily checked if given attention but
which prove serious if neglected and it
is in correcting these troubles that
Prickly Aah Bitters has established its
claim to be a "family medicine." It
relieves women of aick headache, sour
stomach, dizziness and promotes regu-
larity in the monthly periods. Children
with worms, those who are sickly, rest*
leaa and irritable, who eat too much
candy or qpreet stuff, who complain of
colic oif disturbance in the bowels, will
immediately improve and grow strong,

and Invigorating influence. > 1
Dallas New#.
College Station, Tex., March
26.—During the past month nu-
merous reports have appeared in
the News of injury to small grains
by the Southern grain louse—so-
called "green bug" (Toxoptera
graminum): We have kept in
touch with these cases tbiough
correspondence and have advised
that in all probability no serious
injury would occur generally.
This prediction has now been ver-
ified and there is very little prob-
ability of the pest increasing to
injurious numbers of this season.
Two weeks ago my assi-tant, A
F Conradi, examined fields at Van
Alstvne, Allen and Whitewright
and found the aphides then de-
creasing in numbers, due to their
destruction by internal parasitic
Hies. Since then the hard rains
have destroyed largo numbers of
the lice.and the a.lults and larva
of the ladybird beetles have about
finished the rest, so that now but
few aphides can be found in in-
jured fields. Altogether what in-
jury ha> occurred hits been loepl,
a small field here and there, anil
in s> ots. The worst injured area
srems to center about \A hite-
wright. No injury of importance
has been reported west of the
Houston and Texas Central Rail-
road. Along the Santa Fe north
to Gainesville, and from Dallas to
Greenville on the Katy, practi-
cally no grain showing injury was
seen by me and an injured field
is readily recognized. Injury has
been worst on fall outs. Tbe
grain men W hitewright showed
me today the worst fields, in
which but few lice can now be
found, and fully as many of their
insect enemios.
Several points of importace
concerning control of the
pest have been learned, and we
hope by next season to have dis-
covered its complete life bistort -
with which knowledge we can
doubtless tulvise the best means
for its confrol. For it i prob-
able that the ouly means of con-
trolling this insect, as for most
insects affecting staple crops, will
be found in a method of culture,
treatment of land, or rotation, a
method of general fram practice.
We had anticipated but com-
paratively little general damage
by the gieen bug this year on ac-
count of the weather having been
decidedly unfavorable to ite in-
crease. Possibly the principal
factor in ihe natural control of
this aphid are small wasp-like
parasite flies. These lay their
eggs upon the aphides and their
larva live within the aphides, kill-
ing them. An affected louse
turns brtjwn, swells up and finally
from its swollen dead skin,
emerges a small fly which lays its
eggs on more lice, which are kill-
ed, and so on. These parasites
bleed vero rapidly and will often
destroy a scourge of lice in a few
days. The parasites are most ac-
tive and reproduce most rapidly
in warm, dry we:itner; a cold, wet
spring, such as 1901, is distinctly
unfavorable to them and conse-
quently thejaphides increase un-
molested. Furthermore, the past
winter has been favorable to all
insect life, and the ladybird bee-
tles have been able to winter in
large numbers Successfully, and
to commence feeding on the plant
lice early in the season. Had it
not been thai tho drouth stunted
the growth of tbe wheat there
would have been but little notice-
able injury this year. A shower
or two in late February or early
March would have started tbe
growth of the wheat\ without in-
jury to the parasites, and the lit-
tle injury by tho plant lice would
Jiave been more evenly distributed
and hardly noticeable in most in-

The Pan-Handle
Is NOT on a boom, but is enjoying tbe most rapid growth of

WHY?
Because only recently have the public at large realized the op-
portunities which this Northwest section of Texas offers.
The largo ranches are hcing divided into
Small Stock Farms
Wheat, Corn, Cotton. Melons, and all kinds of feed stuff a are
being raised in abundance, surpassing the expectations of the

is what is happening in the Pan-Handle.
